On most vehicles there is a release button at the bottom of the headrest 'legs'. I think on the Strada it is two push in buttons, one on each leg, on the plastic hole the headrest slots into.
Try this web page for the owners manual for the Fiat Strada.
Not sure where you are, friend, but my data book tells me the Fiat Strada was produced in the 1980's and there wasn't a 1.2 model, a 1.1 and a 1.3 is what appears in the book.
I remember the car quite well as I worked on a few, typically the car was short-lived due to the severe rate of body corrosion.
If your car is a locally made under licence in the way of many of the eastern bloc Fiats, you will need to obtain technical information locally as in those circumstances made under licence cars rarely used the original engines.
It is also possible your car is not a Strada at all but maybe something like a Fiat Bravo that is locally named a Strada because another manufacturer is already using the Bravo name or perhaps the original name clashed with a slightly distasteful product. The Strada was originally the Ritmo but had to be named Strada in the USA due to a similar sounding brand of sanitary towels.
I believe it has another name Idle Air Control. Most of the time it builds up carbon on the plunger of the IAC or fuel control valve. If the valve is having idle problems then tat's the problem.The valve is located on the side of the throttle body good luck Mike L. l
Take a couple of minutes and move the #4 sparkplug to another cylinder to see if the miss moves with it; I have had more than a few bad plugs over the years with cracks in the ceramic and in one instance, the platinum thread of a Bosch plug actually fell down onto the ground electrode.
I don't understand your valve clearance number of + - 3000? If the valve clearance is way off. you won't find decent compression either.
BTW, I drove Fiats for 34 years; '67 124 (terrible car), '71 & '74 128, '79, '80, 80 Stradas, '80 X1/9 and now have as a summer fun car. '87 Bertone X1/9.
Loved 'em all except for the first one but maintained all except the first one.
